SAP has announced a partnership with Mistral AI to integrate advanced AI capabilities into its applications and enterprise software. 

This collaboration will enable SAP customers to access Mistral AI's models through SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) applications with generative AI capabilities.

Mistral AI is known for its open-weight models, Mixtral 8x7B and Mixtral 8x22B, as well as its enterprise-grade “Large” model. These models will be available through SAP's generative AI hub in SAP AI Core, offering SAP customers the tools to enhance productivity, streamline operations, and accelerate digital transformation.

“We are excited about entering a partnership with Mistral AI and making the company’s LLM accessible to both our developers and our customers through the generative AI hub in SAP AI Core on SAP BTP,” said Philipp Herzig, Chief AI Officer, SAP.

“Together, we can truly make a difference by building AI-enabled solutions that create immediate value for users, organsations, and entire industries. We are particularly proud that two European technology companies are collaborating on bringing AI forward,” he added. 

“We are pleased to embark on this partnership with SAP. We foresee the new horizons this collaboration will open up, enabling us to further our mission of making AI accessible to all. We are looking forward to witnessing the potential of our AI models to support innovation and streamline operations for SAP’s customers.” said Arthur Mensch, CEO of Mistral AI. 

Mistral AI recently raised $640 million  (€600 million) at a valuation of $6 billion led by investor General Catalyst. 

“We are announcing €600M in Series B funding for our first anniversary.  We are grateful to our new and existing investors for their continued confidence and support for our global expansion. This will accelerate our roadmap as we continue to bring frontier AI into everyone’s hands,” said Mensch.
